I decided to set up this enterprise to connect people in the community and to get people more active. I am passionate about fresh air and fun ActiviTeas as a way to promote robust mental health and making friends is a huge part of that too. I set up ActiviTeas to provide a way to enable people to make friends and tackle social isolation in the area where I live. I am thinking mainly of people who are alone all day or not in work, the elderly and parents.

One of the elements of ActiviTeas is Ninja-Beats, this focuses on the joy and connections which can be made from music. I would like to put on some day time events, perhaps for the elderly and their carers or others who may be alone and want company. The power of music to shift mood has helped me connect with my Mother-in-Law who has Alzheimers and I am sure this will help others too.

ActiviTeas also encompasses Art Ninjas. Lincoln Art Ninjas is a group I set up in 2016 and it uses creativity and doing acts of kindness for others through art. It is a group where people create small creative things and leave them in places for strangers to find. The group has many talents and encourages people to upcycle and try new skills. It has successfully improved members confidence and self-esteem and I have also stretched it to have groups in other Counties which is exciting!

It would be lovely to be able to sustain this group, it does require us to have insurance, first aid certificated a DBS , some equipment as well as a website, all of which amount to about £500 a year. We would love to go on to do more events and add more groups in the future and make some positive impact on the community. This crowdfunding page is in the hope that people will support us in doing that. Thank you for reading this far!
